Prologue


His feet made noise. Too loud. Noise was too loud. He needed to be silent.

“Gremlin.” A whisper that was too loud. “Follow me.” He obeyed. The figure took his hand and led him out of the darkness and into a room lit by the dim glow of a computer. “This is it.” Gremlin powered up his staff, showing the whole interior of their location.

No one... the room was empty, just like Cloud had said it would be. There was nothing to be afraid of.

“Hurry! We need those files.” Shadow did not keep his voice down. Way too loud.

Gremlin approached the computer. His hand trembled slightly as he reached out to it. There's nothing wrong. He touched it.

The transfer of digital information was tricky, and far different from energy transfer. Gremlin hadn't quite figured out how it worked, but he knew the basics. It worked on the same concept as energy transfer: focus. So he forgot about the fear that poked at him, the danger they were in, as he extracted the data from the machine.

Almost done.

A noise, louder than loud, filled the room.

“Alarms!” screamed Shadow, throwing a smoke bomb into the entrance-way. “Gremlin, get out!”

Almost done!

“Done!” The data was his. Now he just needed to survive. He looked around. Smoke blocked the entrance. “Shadow, the poison!”

Shadow dug his claws into the wall, releasing a potent mixture that weakened the structure. A solid kick sent it tumbling down. They were free.

But Gremlin couldn't remember anything after that. Or before.

A mixture of fear and anger shot through Gremlin when he realized that he was suffering from amnesia, and he didn't know why. Stay calm, he thought to himself. What do you know? What do I know?

He knew that he had been somewhere he shouldn't have been. He was getting information--data. It was important data. He was able to get the data because he could; he could absorb data; energy, too. He could absorb, store, and release energy. It was a unique ability, but not to him. There were others like him. He was...he was a Mage. Yes, that was it, it was magic. He was a Mage. It sounded weird in his head, but he would come back to it later.

The data. Why was the data important? He searched his memory, now an abyss of unknown depth, but he could not find anything.

Then he looked around him. He was lying on the floor. The ground, not the floor: he was outside. It was light, it was day. Fear groped him again. You cannot be seen, said his inner voice. It was right. He couldn't be seen. He couldn't be seen, and he couldn't fight, either, because his staff was back at the Legion's headquarters, his armor was gone, and he had no gun, and Shadow was the real fighter, he was the only one in Freedom that couldn't fight, and...

The stream of thoughts continued. Without realizing it, Gremlin had recovered most of the information up to the incident where he and Shadow had been sent to recover data. He was only missing three things.

One, he did not know why the data was so important.

Two, he did not know what had happened to Shadow.

Three, he did not know that he was not outside, but a prisoner in a virtual reality.
